Look the root

As you can see, the reasons of hair loss can be more. In general, to lose hair, it is sufficient, first, to be genetically predisposed to baldness, and, secondly, to have normal or slightly elevated levels in the body of male sex hormone testosterone.

Undoubtedly, the mechanisms of this phenomenon is also associated with the activity of the autonomic nervous system and - last but not least - with the imbalance of macro- and micronutrients, vitamins, hormones, amino acids, i.e., substances necessary for the hair as a building material, and as growth stimulants. The microcirculation (blood flow) plays also an important role in delivery of nutrients to the hair follicles through the blood vessels.

Hair is a continuation of our skin. Every hair on our body gets start in the follicle. The follicle contains a hair, but does not make it and does not strengthen. Hair "father" is a papilla, which stretches from the center of the follicle to the bottom of the hair root (bulb).

Papilla produces hair cells. It synthesizes proteins needed to build the cells of hair tissue, which are produced on its periphery. Papilla also provides nutrition the hair bulbs.

Life of papilla, in turn, depends on its blood supply. Papilla refers to those parts of the body in which the metabolic process proceeds most actively, since the scalp has an unusually extensive network of blood vessels.

If the lumen of capillaries that deliver blood to the papilla narrowed, or blood circulation is disturbed, for whatever reason, papilla can not grow new hair to replace the outliers. Therefore, the formation and growth of hair depends on papillae nutrition.

To papilla can perform its function (to synthesize proteins for the construction of new cells), it should provide a sufficient set of "building materials" - but materials for constructing protein structures are amino acids, minerals, vitamins and other nutrients.

Therefore, citing the exchange rate needed for hair growth components (by the way, closely related to each other), improving blood circulation and activity of the autonomic nervous system, you can achieve not only the cessation of hair loss, but also to restore them. However in the presence of an unfavorable combination of "testosterone + baldness gene" hair restoration is likely to fail!

Although in light of modern ideas about the mechanism of androgenic alopecia, there are some opportunities here. Moreover, drug treatment of androgenic alopecia in most cases is lengthy and does not give stable results.

Therefore, in order to correctly assess your chances and choose the right method of treatment you should begin with the diagnosis - to carry out all possible tests to determine what the cause of your problem is. Today you have a fairly large choice.

You can:

consult an endocrinologist;

take a blood test for hormones, sugar,

take rheoencephalography (characteristic of brain blood supply);

consult with a nutritionist;

take a computer analysis of the body's needs for nutrients and the actual supply of them;

take elemental analysis of hair;

take the computer NLS diagnosis (on the device "Oberon");

take other tests in the direction of a physician.

Often such a "cosmetic defect" as early baldness, can be a symptom of serious illness, especially at a young age. Strictly speaking, in many cases, hair loss is just one of the consequences of human disease, and naturally, even the most fashionable and expensive cosmetic procedures can not effectively help the patient.

Experience shows that proper choice of food and drugs that regulate the exchange of microelements, vitamins, hormones, drawn from the above analysis allows helping the 50-70% of people suffering from hair loss. It is need only to understand that there are situations when a full stop hair loss and especially the restoration of hair, can be impossible for the above reasons.

Most of the people, whose bald head and purses are subject to the attention of many pharmaceutical and cosmetic firms - that are people actually healthy, anyway, without any health complaints, people who make good money, very loving themselves and too impressionable: thinning hair on the forehead or crown just makes them crazy. Some of them suffer from complexes so that they are even willing to risk their sexual potency, only to return the hair. A proposal now abound, so there is plenty to choose from.

Firstly, there are specific hormonal (not to be confused with natural resources, normalizing the level of hormones!) ointments, creams and pills, interfering with the exchange of the male sex hormone testosterone, the violation of which is the main cause of androgenetic alopecia - hair loss in men which has a genetic origin. These hormonal drugs inhibit the production of DHT. But to achieve the effect from these drugs it is necessary to drink them for years, and doctors have not yet examined the possible long-term effects of such treatment.

Secondly, lubrication of hair products containing minoxidil; they delay the process of hair loss by improving blood supply to hair follicles. This is a multi-year process, but still it does not save completely from baldness.
Not so long ago was designed drug that stimulate hair growth in early baldness. However, the application of this method - it's an individual thing, and positive results were obtained in only part of young people.

Balding men often turn to surgical methods of control for hair. True, the measure is purely cosmetic, at the same time expensive. Nevertheless, this method of dealing with hair loss may be suitable for practically healthy person.

There are several methods of surgical treatment of baldness. Suitable is hair transplantation, along with follicles from the back of the head or other body parts on the trouble spots. Skin can be transplanted as pieces containing 1-4 hair, or as a patch of hair in place of a "scalped" bald. Bald also can be "compressed" by shifting along the hairy "shore." And, finally, applicable is stretching of the skin with remaining hair using special bags of silicone in six months and then coating the stretched skin on bald areas previously deprived of the scalp.

The last (or first, how to understand) means a wig. Or you can change hair color, to reduce translucence of the skin through the thinning vegetation.

If the doctors who examined you did not find anything dangerous - relax and be happy with life. Whatever it may be difficult take age-related changes with gratitude and advantage. Do not be discouraged, turn all the flaws in your own merits. And in general, please note that hair is not the most important thing in life.

The most important requirement to your diet for the health of hair is its diversity. Your diet should include proteins, whole grains and dairy products, fruits, vegetables, legumes, oily fish - in this case in a balanced quantity. When I talk about a balance diet, least of all, I mean its calorie content. The proper balancing of the diet - it is primarily its optimal composition on micro-and macrocomponents: proteins, fats and carbohydrates, dietary fiber, as well as minerals and vitamins.

Others express diet used to lose weight, not only do not reach this goal, but also limit your body on those or other products, making your diet one-sided and too poor. Typically, the hair while also grow worse and become dry and dull. And very often this irrational fascination with strict dieting leads to a strong hair loss.

Correctly choosing foods, you can naturally get the most valuable vitamins and minerals necessary for healthy hair. For a healthy head of hair it is necessary that your food was enough proteins (such as chicken or beef) - their contents must not be less than 30%. Excess saturated animal fats in food harm your hair, but unsaturated fats of Omega-3 and Omega-9 classes - exactly are what you need.

Omega fatty acids - one from important parts of diet for healthy hair. They are found in abundance in oily cold-water marine fish and other seafood; they are also rich in nuts, olive oil and soy. Try to have in your diet fish, nuts and olive oil as fatty acids contained in them, are complementary.

Women are especially encouraged to include in the daily diet of foods rich in iron and calcium as well as lack of these elements is very common among women and may also cause hair loss. If men will follow the same rules, even worse to them by this in any case will not.

Another must-have food for healthy hair is vitamin B12, many of which are in meat products and eggs. Here is another argument in favor of animal protein in the diet. A tale of cholesterol in eggs is high time to forget. Without vitamin B12 hair just can not grow. Often, hair loss occurs because of deficiency of this vitamin.

The hair need and other B vitamins: biotin, PABA, pantothene, and almost everyone else. Studies show that intake of vitamin B6 in large quantities stimulates hair growth in men, and folic acid deficiency causes complete baldness.

The role of vitamins C, E and D is also hard to overestimate. But, unfortunately, men and women just them often are not enough. In modern times almost impossible to get from food all the necessary vitamins and minerals.

Is also important to respect the right balance of zinc, copper and other mineral elements. Should frequently eat raw fruits and vegetables, along with the skin - it contains many nutrients that are important to the state of hair and hair follicles.

Top-10 products for hair strengthening

Here is a list of 10 foods that can be taken as the basis of effective diet against hair loss.

Salmon and other fatty sea fish. Fatty cold-water marine fish such as salmon, tuna, cod, are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids of Omega-3 class, necessary for the health of the scalp. Salmon is also an excellent source of protein, contains plenty of vitamin B12 and iron. For adherents of vegetarian food a good source of essential fatty acids may be one or two tablespoons of flaxseed oil.

Green vegetables. Green and leafy vegetables contain many nutrients needed by healthy hair. So, spinach, broccoli and Swiss chard (leaf beet) are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, the body needs to produce sebum - a natural conditioner for hair. Dark green vegetables also help provide the body with iron, calcium and magnesium.

Beans. Beans and lentils are not only an excellent source of protein needed for hair growth. Legumes contain a lot of iron, zinc and biotin. Sometimes lack of biotin causes brittleness and fragility of the hair. Nutritionists recommend to eat weekly three or more cups of beans or lentils.

Nuts. If you want your hair strong and healthy, you need regularly to eat nuts. Brazil nut is one of the best natural sources of selenium - guardian of health and youth not only hair but also the entire body. Walnuts contain alpha-linolenic acid - one of the Omega-3, which improves the condition of the hair. Cashews, pecans and almonds are rich in zinc; zinc deficiency is often a cause of hair loss.

Poultry meat. Chicken and turkey - an excellent source of protein for growth and strengthen hair. Permanent deficit of protein in the diet leads to the fact that the hair becomes weak and brittle, dull and colorless. Poultry meat to the same is the source of biologically available iron, which is easily digested.

Eggs. To strengthen the hair suitable are eggs cooked in any way - boiled, scrambled or fried. Eggs are an exceptional source of protein. In addition, they are rich in biotin, lecithin and vitamin B12 - essential Beauty-nutrients.

Whole grains. Whole-grain bread and whole-grain cereals contain a significant amount of zinc, iron and B vitamins. But bread with bran - this is pure scam.

Oyster. Oysters not only enhance libido but also wonderfully strengthen and nourish the hair, as they are rich in zinc, a powerful antioxidant. But if you do not live near the blue sea, where oysters are found in sufficient quantity, that's okay. A sufficient amount of zinc you get from whole grains and nuts, beef and lamb. The main thing is to diet was varied.

Dairy products. Milk and yogurt are rich in calcium, an important mineral for growth and hair health. Dairy products also contain whey and casein - valuable sources of protein. However heed to the finished dairy products - not all of them contain calcium in digestible form.

Carrots. Carrots - a rich source of vitamin A, which is very important for the scalp and for good vision. And the health of your hair depends on the health of the skin. Therefore, carrots should find a permanent residence in your menu, both in itself and in salads.

Composing your diet should also pay attention to the fact that some products may not be suitable for you, because they are incompatible with your blood group. So, in general, very useful dairy products are poorly absorbed by people with blood group 0(I) and A(II), even in the fermented form.

Grains also is not good for every blood group, in addition, their usefulness may depend on the condition of the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, if you want a really balanced and useful diet, verify your choice with tables of blood group diet.
